wifi: mwifiex: fix permanently busy scans after multiple roam iterations

2026-07-24T14:17:18+00:00

commit d78a407bad6f500884a8606aea1a5a9207be4030 upstream. In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes like this: EVENT_SLEEP -> adapter->ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -> sleep-confirm -> SLEEP -> EVENT_AWAKE -> AWAKE. Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed. mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight, ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed, and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is never sent. A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY. After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412 the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication / association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response even after extended periods of testing using the loops described below (>12hours). On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur when the driver is outputting debugging information (debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and the issue was not reproducible running the same test. The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running. Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths that are related to powersave event handling and on the main workqueue for correct sleep confirmation. The following loop tests were performed (with debugging output enabled): 1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s between iterations. 2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s between iterations. Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

macsec: fix promiscuity refcount leak in macsec_dev_open()

2026-07-24T14:17:18+00:00

commit 7410d11460eb90d6c9281162ccc6a128534d897d upstream. When a MACsec interface with IFF_PROMISC set is brought up on top of a device that has hardware offload enabled, macsec_dev_open() first calls dev_set_promiscuity(real_dev, 1) and then propagates the open to the offload device. If that propagation fails, the error path jumps to the clear_allmulti label, which only reverts allmulti and the unicast address. The promiscuity taken on the lower device is never dropped, so real_dev is left permanently stuck in promiscuous mode. Its promiscuity count can no longer be balanced from software. Add a clear_promisc label that drops the promiscuity reference and route the two offload failure paths to it. The dev_set_promiscuity() failure itself still jumps to clear_allmulti, since on that failure the count was not incremented.

wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: fix heap overflow on a short auth frame

2026-07-24T14:17:17+00:00

commit 240c8d2c717b3f8153e7e877b22a82518d78dbdc upstream. brcmf_notify_auth_frame_rx() takes the frame length from the firmware event and copies the frame body with the management header offset subtracted: u32 mgmt_frame_len = e->datalen - sizeof(struct brcmf_rx_mgmt_data); ... memcpy(&mgmt_frame->u, frame, mgmt_frame_len - offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u)); The only length check is e->datalen >= sizeof(*rxframe), so mgmt_frame_len can be anything from 0 up. offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt, u) is 24. When mgmt_frame_len is below that, the subtraction wraps as an unsigned value to a huge length. The memcpy then runs far past the kzalloc'd buffer. A malicious or malfunctioning AP can make the frame short during the external SAE auth exchange, so this is a remotely triggered heap overflow. Reject frames shorter than the management header offset before the copy.

wifi: mwifiex: fix roaming to different channel in host_mlme mode

2026-07-24T14:17:17+00:00

commit a707e4127c0f893c7a7703500ab56297a5bd2d51 upstream. When host MLME is enabled, mwifiex_cfg80211_authenticate() transmits the authentication frame on a remain-on-channel (ROC) reservation so that the frame is sent on the target BSS's channel. The ROC is only configured when priv->auth_flag is zero. priv->auth_flag is set to HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING when the auth frame is queued and advances to HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE once authentication completes. It is only cleared back to zero on a disconnect, deauth or timeout path; nothing clears it when an association succeeds. It therefore stays at HOST_MLME_AUTH_DONE for the whole connected session. When the station later roams to a BSS on a different channel, the next authentication finds auth_flag != 0, skips the ROC setup, and the auth frame is transmitted on the currently-associated channel instead of the target's channel. Authentication times out on the new AP and the device stays connected to the original AP. Gate the ROC setup on HOST_MLME_AUTH_PENDING instead of on auth_flag being completely clear. This re-arms the remain-on-channel for every new authentication attempt, while still suppressing a redundant ROC during the multi-frame SAE exchange, where auth_flag stays PENDING between the commit and confirm frames. This change was tested in 3 different devices: Verdin AM62 (IW412 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p142) Verdin iMX8MM (W8997 SD-SD) - (16.68.1.p197) Verdin iMX8MP (W8997 SD-UART) - (16.92.21.p137) There following loop tests were performed: 1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s between iterations. 2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s between iterations. Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

wifi: rt2x00: avoid full teardown before work setup in probe

2026-07-24T14:17:17+00:00

commit 536fb3d739d75a03cb318c0c6fe799425cfea501 upstream. rt2x00lib_probe_dev() uses the full rt2x00lib_remove_dev() teardown for all probe failures. However, drv_data allocation and workqueue allocation can fail before intf_work, autowakeup_work and sleep_work have been initialized. Do not enter the full remove path until the probe has reached the point where those work items are set up. Return directly for drv_data allocation failure, and use a small early cleanup path for workqueue allocation failure. This issue was found by our static analysis tool and then confirmed by manual review of rt2x00lib_probe_dev() and rt2x00lib_remove_dev(). The early probe exits should not call a common teardown path that assumes the later work setup has already completed. A QEMU PoC forced alloc_ordered_workqueue() to fail before the work initializers are reached. The resulting fail path entered rt2x00lib_remove_dev(), and DEBUG_OBJECTS reported invalid work drains with rt2x00lib_probe_dev() and rt2x00lib_remove_dev() in the stack.

net/mlx5: free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc

2026-07-24T14:17:17+00:00

commit df6134b527a88b3e65ba6ae5073664af091d5fd2 upstream. Workloads that repeatedly allocate and release mkeys carrying TPH steering-tag hints (e.g. churning RDMA MRs) leak one struct mlx5_st_idx_data per cycle; kmemleak flags it as unreferenced and the kmalloc slab grows over time. When the last reference to an ST table entry is dropped, mlx5_st_dealloc_index() removed the entry from idx_xa but the backing mlx5_st_idx_data allocation was never freed. Free idx_data after the xa_erase() so the lifetime of the bookkeeping struct matches the lifetime of the ST entry it tracks.

macsec: don't read an unset MAC header in macsec_encrypt()

2026-07-24T14:17:16+00:00

commit f5089008f90c0a7c5520dff3934e0af00adf322d upstream. macsec_encrypt() reads the Ethernet header via eth_hdr(skb) (skb->head + skb->mac_header) to memmove() the 12 source/destination MAC bytes forward and make room for the SecTAG. On the AF_PACKET SOCK_RAW + PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS transmit path the skb reaches the macsec ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset, so eth_hdr(skb) resolves to skb->head + (u16)~0 and the read is out of bounds: a 12-byte heap over-read that is also emitted on the wire as the frame's outer source/destination MAC. KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds read in macsec_start_xmit() on 6.0; on current mainline a CONFIG_DEBUG_NET build flags it as an unset mac header in skb_mac_header(). On the TX path the L2 header is at skb->data, so use skb_eth_hdr(), added by commit 96cc4b69581d ("macvlan: do not assume mac_header is set in macvlan_broadcast()") for exactly this purpose.

octeontx2-pf: fix SQB pointer leak on init failure

2026-07-24T14:17:15+00:00

commit 62e7df6d042aeebd5efb581074e28865c04477be upstream. otx2_init_hw_resources() initializes SQ aura and pool resources before several later setup steps. On failure, err_free_sq_ptrs only frees SQB pages, leaving the per-SQ sqb_ptrs arrays behind. Use otx2_free_sq_res() for the SQ unwind path and let it free sqb_ptrs even when sq->sqe has not been allocated yet. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1.1. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an OcteonTX2 PF device and the corresponding AF mailbox setup to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

net: wwan: iosm: bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder

2026-07-24T14:17:15+00:00

commit 526b8ef54668780c8f69e0211c342763d5dcbad1 upstream. mux_dl_adb_decode() walks a chain of aggregated datagram tables using offsets and lengths taken from the modem. first_table_index, next_table_index, table_length, datagram_index and datagram_length are all device supplied le values. Only first_table_index was checked, and only for being non zero. The decoder then formed adth = block + adth_index and read the table header and the datagram entries with no bound against the received skb. A modem that reports an index or a length past the downlink buffer makes the decoder read out of bounds. The buffer is IPC_MEM_MAX_DL_MUX_LITE_BUF_SIZE and skb->len is at most that, so skb->len is the real limit, but none of these in band offsets were checked against it. The table chain is also followed with no forward progress check. The loop takes the next table from adth->next_table_index and stops only when that reaches zero. A modem can stage two tables that point at each other, so the loop never ends. It runs in softirq and clones the skb on every pass. Validate every device offset and length against skb->len before use. The block header must fit. Each table header, on entry and after every next_table_index, must lie inside the skb. The datagram table must fit. Each datagram index and length must stay inside the skb. The header padding must not exceed the datagram length so the receive length does not wrap. Require each next_table_index to move forward so the chain cannot cycle. This was reproduced under KASAN as a slab out of bounds read on a normal downlink receive once the iosm net device is up.
